The main legal point established is that the voluntary resignation of the workman led to the denial of relief under the Industrial Disputes Act.
The court ruled that employees in managerial roles and earning above Rs.10,000 do not qualify as 'workmen' under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, reversing the Labour Court's decision.
